Winning Isn’t About
Accomplishment
by Greg Arnold
Ever
set a goal that you didn’t accomplish? And, because you failed, you
felt like such a loser? Well, those days are over! Today, right now,
you’re going to learn how to put all that behind you. You’re going to learn how
to ask yourself a simple question that will change the rest of your
life, FOREVER! What’s the question? Four little words; “Am I winning
now?”
Setting goals is all well and good, but most of the time we are
merely verbalizing our wishes. We all know that wishes belong in
fairy tails but NOT as part of our success arsenal. Because most of
us don’t know how to get what we want (wish for) out of life,
every time we say that we want something (set a goal), we are
programming ourselves to fail. Because deep inside we know that we
won’t get it and we begin the posturing process that guarantees that
it won’t happen.
As
human beings we are ruled by our expectations. We pretty much get
everything we expect out of life. Did you ever here the
phrase “Actions speak louder than words?” Here is one to go along
with that “Expectations are more powerful that goals.” If you set a
goal this month to sponsor five new distributors but you don’t
really expect it to happen, it won’t.
Art Williams (author of All You Can Do Is All You Can Do, But All
You Can Do Is Enough) used to say; “Winners win and Losers
Lose.” While that sounds brutally honest, it’s also brutally true.
Winners have learned how to manage their expectations and losers
haven’t. The good news is, managing your expectations is nothing
but an acquired skill.

However, up until now, you pretty much would have had to be
extremely fortunate (lucky) to have acquired this skill. They don’t
teach it in any institution of learning. There are no parenting
handbooks on the subject. You won’t find it in any book about how
to be a good friend to others. And it certainly won’t be found in
any corporate management employee guide.
Up
until now, the expectation of winning has been passed down from
generation to generation in families that expect to win or through
very keen observation and practice. For all I know it started with
the caveman who was the first to kill for food and then passed that
skill on to his children. Maybe it was the guy or gal, who first
built a fire without the aid of lightening and then passed that
skill down. Wherever it came from, the expectation of winning is
the single most powerful tool you can possess in your success
toolkit.
To
get your expectation of winning, you have to learn to manage
it. To do that, you will have to learn to replace your
expectation of losing. Now you can say, “Greg, you’re full
of pollywog droppings. I am no loser!” Frankly, it isn’t my
business whether you are or you aren’t. You’re record always has
and always will speak for itself. If I am speaking about you today
and you want to change it, you can. If I am not talking about you
today, shouldn’t you be teaching this to those who look to you for
leadership?
Ok, so how do we learn to manage our expectations? How do we learn
to expect to win? Believe it or not, it is pretty simple. You
simply have to learn what winning really is and quit equating it to
your accomplishments. Take this simple test:
-
I set a goal to
sponsor 5 new people this month and didn’t accomplish it. Winner or
loser?
-
I wanted to earn
$500 this month but only received a check for $250. Winner or
loser?
-
I wanted to go to the company
convention but at the last minute, something came up. Winner
or loser?
-
I thought I could increase the size
of my team by 50 new distributors this month, and I did it! Winner
or loser?
-
All of my friends and family said I
couldn’t get to the point where I could go full time and live my
dreams with MLM but I did it anyway! Winner or loser?
The answer to all five questions is “None of the above.”
As
I said before, what you accomplish has nothing to do with winning or
losing. That is simply what you have been conditioned to think all
these years. It’s time to change all that. New mantra; Winning or
losing is what I am doing this moment. In other words, winning or
losing has everything to do with what direction you are choosing to
move in, right now!
If
you are reading this article because you want to improve your
ability to succeed, you’re winning, right now. If you finish this
article and come to a realization that it is speaking about you but
you choose to do nothing, you will move into the losing direction.
If you choose to get healthier and you find yourself at the gym, 70
pounds overweight but working out anyway, you’re winning now. And
you are winning everyday that you continue to workout, no matter
how much you weigh.
If
you want to build your business, everyday that you spend time
prospecting, you’re winning now. Didn’t prospect today, you’re
losing now. Want to learn more about the business or improve
yourself…everyday that you listen to CDs or read the right books or
attend seminars or company events, you’re winning now. Everyday you
don’t, you’re losing now. Want to think more positively…every
moment that you avoid listening to, watching, or reading the
news, you’re winning now. Every moment you have to get your news
fix, you’re losing now.
Winning or losing is all about what you are doing now. They
have nothing to do with what you actually accomplish. What you
accomplish is how the world around you judges whether you are a
winner or not. But that is all second hand news. What you will
accomplish tomorrow has everything to do with how many days you
choose to rack up “winning now” or how many you will accept losing
now. The more times you ask yourself; “Am I winning now?” and act
accordingly, the more moments you will spend winning. The more
moments you spend winning, the more you will begin to expect to
win. The more you expect to win, the more YOU WIN.
The key to victory is to stop living in the world that others judge
you by and start managing the moments you are living in now. These
moments will be the ones that you will use to carve out your
destiny. Make sure you ask yourself often; “Am I winning now?”
And make sure the answer is yes!
